Good maintenance involves taking them apart one at a time, gently cleaning as needed, applying a bit of light lubricant, and re-assembling firmly so as to assure a reliable connection at each point. Sockets where the boards plug in, RCA audio plugs and jacks, terminal strips, and other points where electricity must jump from one metal part to another - all these points are subject to become intermittent. While it's not yet an old organ, unless it has been getting an occasional service call, it is long past due for some serious routine maintenance. A newer organ would have some nice features, but unless you are unhappy with the sound you should stick with it. So it's not time to replace it or panic about it become obsolete or crippled with unfixable problems. Plenty of Allens going back to 1971 are still in use around here, and a few of the analogs that are even older than that. I would add that an Allen organ from 1981 is not an "old" organ at all. ![]()
